Food:
Mid-Rat: Sandwich fixings are avaliable, but I usually bring something of my own. Trail mix, clif bar, ect.
Breakfast: There's always eggs any way you please, bacon/sausage, oatmeal, cold cereal w/ milk, fruit. Plus some sort of 'second selection', like hash, biscuits & gravy, waffles. The second selection rotates each day.
Lunch: Usually 2 meat selections, one vegetable, rice/potatoes for the carb. Occasionally it will be sandwiches instead - tuna melt, grilled cheese, ruben, pulled pork etc, served with chips. Tuesdays are tacos. Religiously, tacos, else chaos and mutiny.
Dinner: Usually 1 meat selection, one fish selection, one vegetable, rice/potatoes again. Occasionally it will be a pasta dish (which I won't eat for fear of being milk poisoned, plus I don't particularly like pasta). Any left over salad is avaliable. Ice cream or cake.
Meal components are always presented individually, unless the selection is sandwiches or a baked pasta dish. There are no casseroles. There are vegetables, but there are no cohesive vegetarian meals. Tofu, seitan, tempe, lentils, and mushrooms do not and shall not exist aboard. I'm honestly not sure if I've ever seen a bean...
Vegetables are bog standard american things - peas, carrots, peas n' carrots, corn*, asparagus, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, lima beans, brussell sprouts. Generally roasted in oil, sometimes steamed, sometimes in sauce.
Meat is pretty standard selections. Chicken and turkey are almost exclusively served in gravy or sauce. Steak and pork are usually served without sauce.
Salad is iceberg lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion, bell pepper. It usually runs out between day 8 and 10.
Bread, peanut butter, jelly, and cereal are always avaliable. There's also a snack basket, with candy, crackers, cookies, pop tarts, etc.
The only things I drink are water and black coffee. It's the one food related category where I naturally self-regulate.
Suggestions?
*I know it's not a vegetable, and you know it's not a vegetable, but according to the SOP for culinary guidance, corn is a vegetable.
